HEARTY POTATO SOUP WITH IRISH CHEDDAR AND CORNED BEEF



Hearty Potato Soup With Irish Cheddar and Corned Beef image

You can substitute sharp cheddar for Irish cheddar. Love the idea of the corned beef in the potato soup; however, I would reduce the amount of cheese in the recipe. I plan to make this asap. Recipe is from cdkitchen.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 small leeks, trimmed and chopped (slit lengthwise, and thoroughly washed)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups organic chicken broth
3 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 lb sharp cheddar cheese (or to your taste)
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream (or half and half)
1/4 lb lean corned beef, thinly sliced and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (or scallions)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped leeks, onion, carrot and garlic. Saute the vegetables; stirring occasionally, until they are glossy and have started to soften - about 5 minutes.
  • Stirring continuously, sprinkle in the flour. Still stirring, gradually pour in the chicken broth. Add the potatoes. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender enough to be pierced easily with a table fork, about 15 minutes.
  • Place the shredded cheese in a large heat proof mixing bowl. Ladle in about a quarter of the hot liquid from the soup and stir with a sturdy wooden spoon until the cheese has completely melted and is fully blended inches Carefully pour the cheese mixture back into the saucepan and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Stirring continuously, gradually pour in the heavy cream and add the salt and pepper. Continue to heat the soup until it almost reaches the boiling point. Turn off the heat, taste the broth, and adjust the seasonings if necessary with a little more salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into heated bowls. Garnish each bowl with the chopped corned beef and the chopped chives. Serve immediately.

Categories     Blender     Food Processor     Slow Cooker     Chicken     Garlic     Herb     Potato     Kid-Friendly     Back to School     Cheddar     Winter     Chive     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
4 cups chicken stock, plus more as needed
1 large clove garlic
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or a mixture of sharp Cheddar and smoked Gouda
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream, half-and-half, or sour cream (optional)
1/4 cup crumbled sharp Cheddar cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 1 cup of the stock in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or until the potatoes are just tender.
  • Transfer two-thirds of the potatoes to a food processor or blender, along with the cooking liquid. Add the garlic. Blend to the desired consistency: a blender will yield a smooth texture, a food processor a rough, rustic consistency.
  • Return the potato purée to the slow cooker and stir in the shredded cheese, the remaining 2/3 cup stock, and the chives. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes, or until the soup is well heated. Add extra stock or water if the soup is too thick. Break up the whole potato slices with a fork to achieve a texture that suits you. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream just before serving.
  • Ladle into soup bowls, sprinkle with the crumbled cheese, and serve immediately.
  • Southwestern Potato-Cheddar Soup:
  • For a Southwestern version of this soup, use cilantro instead of chives, and add 1 (4-ounce) can chopped roasted green chiles and 1 teaspoon each ground cumin and coriander.
